At Permit Room, go for the look of the thing

So here’s the thing about fusion fare – it makes my hackles rise because of how badly wrong it can go. Which is why when we decided to head to Permit Room in Al Mankhool, I was glad that I hadn’t seen the menu.

Upon first look, the vibe was nice and cosy; the tempered green on the walls ensconcing small seating areas that yanked you back to memories of home and comfort. It was a bit reminiscent of my childhood, going up to hill stations in the Indian mountains, surrounded by the cold weather and keeping warm and munching on simple yet flavourful food.

It made me wonder if the meal would also tick that ‘full-of-comfort’ box.
